I do not blame any of those who left. Their decision was that which they felt was the better one at the time. I hope their pain eases with time.

I told my family yelling that I was packing my bags and headed to Mexico. I told them to send me the cash so I can live over there because I was tired of being an undocumented person. I was a coward and stayed here. Many of these individuals were just braver than I was.

One of my favorite quotes: "Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up."- Thomas Edison
